Well, I guess the first thing I better bone up on are my time zones. For some reason unknown to me, I just looked at the clock and thought I’d missed it, cause I had in my head, 7 pm Pacific, 5 pm Central. Brain fog!

See you at 9 Central, hopefully!!!

Never done one of these before, but I want to participate – can anyone tell me what I have to do/where I have to be at that time?

This is my first SmartyPants Quiz. I’m getting excited and studying more than I did in college. HAHA! Glad the winning is not based on speed. I’m sure I would have many typing errors which would probably lead to completely wrong answers.

My husband and I are HUGE word nerds!! I studied english and grammar. You have no idea how much fun this was for us!!!

Find the Pioneer Woman on:

Charlie has a brand new children's book out, and it's all about the day a new calf comes into the world! She sleeps in Charlie's bed, hogs all the attention...and hilarity ensues. Hope you and your kiddos enjoy the book!
